Prayer

We must see prayer as our main work, the real work. And, it is our greatest privilege. - Jeff Wells

Jesus' prayer life was so exemplary that his disciples wanted to emulate it. We desire to become a church where prayer is seen as the real work. We desire to be known as a House of Prayer that people throughout the community come to for prayer when they have special needs. We desire to become a church family who sees themselves as intercessors, who are quick to pray for others.

We pray first to bring God glory. We pray first to invite his kingdom and will to supercede our own, trusting that he will provide for our every need and grant us the forgiveness we deserve and the ability to forgive those that have wronged us. We pray continually as an act of worship to receive God's love for us and invite God's reign in our life. There is power in prayer. We invite you to pray with us and welcome the opportunity to pray with you.
